Young Spain face France's forward threat in final

Spain and France meet at the San Siro stadium tomorrow in the Nations League final after a week in which the competition, in just its second edition, truly delivered on its promise.uefa launched the Nations League in 2018 amid much puzzlement about the format and scepticism about whether such a competition was needed or desired given the prominence of the European Championship and World Cup for national teams.

The argument from European soccer's governing body was that replacing friendly matches with competitive games in a mini-group format, with a Final Four tournament at the end, would deliver better entertainment value for fans and more meaningful action for the players.
